Adventures in Smoofland…
The world was full of light and wonderful things. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. I was pleasantly surrounded by life. Suddenly, I was plunged against my will into darkness. No longer could I see or hear the noises associated with everyday living. I was trapped. The temperature began to rise and the panic began to set in. I was alone and the silence only reminded me of that fact. There was no one to help me, no one even knew I was there. I was held between two worlds, one full of light and one of only darkness. Fear and panic began to take over. Suddenly, a dim sliver of light pierced the darkness. It guided me in my time of desperate need. I went towards the light, clinging to the hope that I would be free once more. Finally, I was thrust back into the light. Relief washed over me. I was back where I belonged, in a world full of light and life. Never have I been so thankful.
Yep, that's right. I got stuck in the elevator at work during a power outage. Nothing like a little time in a large, heavy, suspended-between-two-floors metal death trap to give you a new perspective on things

Oh no! Glad it did not last very long!

How long?

I think it was about 5 minutes or so, not very long. It’s hard to tell how long I was in there because it was so dark that I could not see my watch. I had to open my cell phone just to find the call button in the elevator! Thank goodness the power came back on pretty quickly.

OMG! Isn’t that like everyone’s worst fear! Glad it wasn’t too long!

You experienced one of my greatest fears!! I can’t STAND elevators….
I’m better at riding in them now than 10 years ago, but I still have that panicky feeling everytime I get on one!! Don’t let the door hesitate in closing or more people get on than I think should be there, because when either one of those things happens, I get off–and I mean everybody out of my way!! Why take chances? Did I ever tell you the story about my experience in an elevator in New York and the “voice”? I’m glad you were not stuck for very long. Thank goodness you had your cell phone with you!
Keep the pictures coming. Our Little Southern Miss is precious and is really growing! Give her a kiss from Great Aunt Leisa!

Remember that little black cloud that hovers just over all Boyette heads? It got ya!
